THE BALDWIN MURDER.
Civ weeks ago Mr. Con Baldwin, 6
,.rtIersn of wealth and prominence in
Car Francisco, while visiting some quartz
limos in which he was interested near
Ma villsge of Vintunsz, Mexico, was set
rnop nv five men and cruelty murdered.
NJ Rsldyin's death created genuine
,.T sstion about San Francisco. Public
meetirg5 to express Indigestion st his
dp,tb were presided over by the most
n,orfnent merchants in the city. The
GsIii0rDi. papers claim Mr.. Baldwin's
death IVES due to q prejudice against
Americans and th1t the Mexican authOri-
ties we're at fault in not affording greater
nro.ection to the life &nd property
n foreigners in that country.
l. now sppears from report received to-
3sy BIZ the State Department from Mr..
Tom OCconnery, United States minis
Ter in Mexico, that Baldwin was muir
dered by bandits, and that the villagers
Of Vcntursz0, to quote the language OF the
reDOrt, armed themselves with such rude
weapons SIS they could fad, and surpria-
ing the bandits in the height OF drunken
oreie killed them al. Occ01nerY quotes
Seastor M2rsicsl, chief OF the Mexican
foreign Office, as denying that there is q
preiddive il that country against Ameli-
cans, but OF the contrary that they are
reestied IS the most desirable of the for
eign element that fad an asylum in that
country.

ed BY Congress, Will make him the prey
Ct Ofica-see kers He will recommend
the appointment of three inspectors Of
CUDsuiatcs, one for North and Sopth
American countries ana TWO for Europe
and asia. He will recommend that
they be paid $4,000 vesr, and
8 sum not exceeding $4,000 al
year each for travelling expenses.
These positions, it Is believed, will be as
nearly in the nature of s sinecure as any
thiGg can be and that they will be eagerly
sought after i3 fact which goes without
SAYING. II many respects they Will be
the mos desired positions in the Ameri
can foreign service.
